Ian: [But, I...] pg18 * the kanji for fairy is labelled with the furigana for Ainsel 1 Kaito: It's pretty rare event for Ainsel to take a liking to a human. Ainsel: I did not take a liking to him! 2 Ian: [Tokage] [To win against him] 3 Kaito: I might be the demon who wants to destroy this world... 4 Kaito: Even so, are you still willing to sell your soul to this "death merchant"?
